Question

(Ch. 6, p. A man bought a trampoline for his children to use. The trampoline has a diameter of 17 feet. If the man wishes to put up netting to go around the outside of the trampoline, how many feet of netting does he need? Give the exact circumference of the trampoline and then an approximation. Use 1.3.14. The exact circumference of the trampoline is (Type an exact answer, using a as needed.)

Answer 1

Diameter D of the trampoline = 17 feet

The circumference C, of the trampoline is calculated by the formula:

$C=\pi D$

Put D = 17 feet, π=3.14

$\begin{gathered} C=3.14\times17\text{feet} \\ C=53.38\text{feet} \end{gathered}$

The cirucmference o
